Addressing single index in array node

Hello.

OPC UA defines a way to read/write/subscribe just part of an array (and the part can be a single element). You can do it with QuickOPC. An example of it is here: opclabs.doc-that.com/files/onlinedocs/QuickOpc/Latest/User%2...ments%20from%20an%20array.html . In order for this to work, the server has to support it. Most servers do, but not all.

There is also a possibility that besides a node (variable) which holds the array, the server exposes separate nodes (variables) for the individual array elements. And yes, there needs to be some syntax or rule for how the Node ID looks like, depending on an index. This approach is not standardized by the OPC UA specifications, and therefore each server can do it differently. You need to consult the server vendor/documentation on this topic.

Hello,
We're currently facing an issue while trying to read single value from array. For example, node ID of array is "ns=7;s=PLC.Parameters.Values". Is it there maybe any way to read value at certain index and that index is defined in node ID itself?
Maybe something like this: "ns=7;s=PLC.Parameters.Values[1]"

We've already tried that way, but unfortunately it's not working. Do you have any suggestions on how to achieve this?

Keep in mind that we have .NET application which goes trough list of node ID's provided with Excel file, reads their values and stores them back in Excel. That means that whether value is index in array or just a simple integer or string, it should be transparent for our applications.

Thank you in advance.
